The Basic Looks for Fashion Trends for Spring Summer 2005

Last autumn it was obvious that texture and colour dominated the runways. In short, female trends for Summer 2005 will see a very feminine approach to summer fashion styles.

There are about a dozen main looks that have emerged from designer's spring summer shows, but the key is in the quirky edgy details. Those little differences. Choose carefully to suit your figure and personality. The key pieces I'm opting for myself are shorter boxy, cropped jackets, with just below elbow or three quarter sleeves. I bought my first shorter, bracelet sleeve jacket a year ago and am now convinced the closer neater shorter jacket as a fashion piece will get more and more cropped in the next year through Edwardian bolero styles to the ultimate snug cut of the Spencer jacket stage.

Nearly every designer included some cropped jackets in their shows in a wide variety of materials and they will work well with fuller, soft gypsy skirts as well as trousers or over dresses. The cropped jacket will be a highly wearable item and is set to be one of the biggest fashion choice trends of 2005. It can be anything from a cropped Chanel line jacket to a skinny shorter bodied blazer.

As a bonus it's also perfect as a cover up in summer air conditioning or cooler evenings. Designers will merely take it a step further at some point this year and by next winter I predict we will be wearing spencer jackets in force, perfect under cocooning capes or jackets with cape like backs.

Whilst the pencil skirt is a designer must have for this year too, panel and A line gypsy skirts will be the way to go. Fuller width means maxi in length or just above ankle. If you like shorter lengths to show those legs then cropped trousers or knee shorts or the pencil skirt is great alternative, but it puts bodies on show which may of course be your intention. The pencil skirt looks so much better with high heels, but wedges may be an option.

Whichever skirt or trouser style you choose, stay in tune with the eclectic ethnic look and add chunky tribal jewellery. That will be the fastest way to update your personal look. Failing that add a scarf or bag or shoe style in the latest texture, print or colour.
